Abstract

The motivation of the Special Edition “Global Democracy and International Institutions”, to be printed in the present issue of Revista Monções, was born from the following diagnosis: the debate about the democratization of international politics is definitely something that is currently imposed, not being allowed to the discussions on International Relations in Brazil the option to pass it off. On the one hand, despite all contemporary crises and turbulences, democracy as a regime of government remains widespread throughout the world. On the other hand, the consciousness of its empirical limitations has never been so acute. Given this, this Special Edition represents a call to the critical and reflexive evaluation of the phenomenon of the democratization of international politics from various analytical angles. Its central objective is to understand the formulations, reformulations and limits of the ways promoted by States, international institutions and other non-state actors to exercise a more plural and open global governance - and, in a very peculiar sense, more " democratic "- amid the complexities, inequalities and instabilities imposed by the conditions of "structural anarchy."
